Birdiepult

I wanted to do some repeater ballista like in warhammer but I made my own twist on it. It´s more like a repeater arrowbolter or somefing. Enjoy

Updated. Fixed black mesh, floating wing mesh and tc.

Review: I like the design, simple but effective. There are a few things I would like you to adress before approving it.

Important:
- The materials of the teamcoloured wings are both set to transparent. Set the Replaceable ID on to "None" and the Ballista texture to "Blend". This way, the team coloured parts will shade correctly

- Under the wings in the back there is one triangle of mesh that belongs to the left wing but is attached elsewhere, so it's floating around. Attach that correctly. There's also a small black plane of mesh that sticks through the center piece of the model. It's basically not visible ingame but if you're at it, fix that too :)

Discussable:
- Does it make much sense that the wings move forward when shooting? It looks kind of weird, but I guess I'm not an engineer or whatever.

The tail loads the arrow while the wings represent the mechanism of a bow string though the wings are more decorative I would imagine that they are just protective cover and within them is the bow string that extends into the vehicle. I can get the work done over the weekends. Its the only time when im home since i work and sleep away from home.
